The weirdest Christmas traditions

Although it is not a national holiday, and only one per cent of the population
are practising Christians, Christmas is celebrated by a large number of
people in Japan.

Kentucky Fried Chicken outlets became popular among foreigners in Japanas
they often couldn’t find a whole chicken or turkey elsewhere during the
festive season. The fast-food chain seized upon this trend with a highly
successful marketing campaign in the 1970s and now a trip to KFC is a
Christmas tradition in Japan. The chain even suggests customers in the
country place orders up to two months in advance to meet demand.
